The Colorado fires have had a huge effect on the community here in Fort
Collins. However, instead of tearing it apart it has brought people
together. There is a sense of purpose and camaraderie, even in the face
of immeasurable loss.

Sports Camp only lasted four days, but it felt longer because I bonded with the girls and saw their improvement. I know God put me there because he knew I would learn from the girls more than I could teach them.

I’m underneath the grayest, gloomiest clouds that have ever existed, and
it’s just a matter of time before rain starts to drizzle. Occasionally a
beam of sunshine can be seen, but only for a few minutes before being
swallowed by the sky full of depressed clouds.

One of my teammates asked how I slept. Sleeping in a full-sized bed after being accustomed to a twin bed, I answered that my bed was "too big." Laughing, he joked that this was a "First World problem."
